What are the chances of going from a partial knee replacement to a full knee replacement? |
I had a unicompartmental knee replacement done in April of 2006. Now I am experience a great deal of pain on the out side of that same knee. I am now wearing a brace, and I purchase a cane to assist me with walking. I had an x-ray done, and was told that there is some slipping in that joint (not sure what that means), and that I have a significant amount of bone loss. I am extremely tired of being in pain all the time. I am constantly taking pain pills which have seem to stop working. I still feel that it was a good idea to get done, I just feel that I should have had the full one done. Now it looks as if I may have to get it done. You won't know unless you go to the doctor and get it checked out. It may just need some adjustment made. The doctor will tell you what's going on. You may need the full replacement like you said. It would be better to go and see about it instead of wondering and being in so much pain. It may not be as bad as you are thinking. It definitely is something wrong or you wouldn't be having so much discomfort. Did you fall or something? You'll be relieves after you go. Take care. u should ask your doctor what is best for u You need to get the opinion of an orthopedic doctor. I can sympathize with knee pain. Perhaps some physical therapy would help strengthen the muscles that support the knee. You could ask the doctor about that. I hope you get to feeling better soon. S. |
